USD $60 million raised for men's health

In 2017, the Movember community championed men’s health in 20 countries across the world. Through Growing Mo’s, Moving for men’s health and Hosting Mo-ments, we raised USD $60 million.

Our focus on costs and economy of scale has resulted in a global cost-to-funds-raised ratio of 22.8%.

As a fiscally conservative organisation Movember retains a small percentage of funds to cover future campaigns and to ensure the long-term continuity of the organisation. The retained funds are being progressively built up over multiple campaigns, and once the Board of Directors are satisfied they are at a sufficient level, no further funds will be retained.

Distribution of funds from the international 2017 Movember campaign saw 72.3% allocated to men’s health, 4.9% to retained funds, 16.5% to fundraising costs, and 6.3% to admin costs.
